Police Respond to Brooklyn Subway Death

NEW YORK (AP) -- Police are investigating the death of a man or boy found under a Brooklyn subway train.

They were called to the station at Eastern Parkway and Kingston Avenue Tuesday evening and found the victim under a number 3 train. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Police say no criminality is suspected.

The identity of the victim hasn't been released.

No, although to my understanding this happens much more often than many people realize, but the info's often not made public (maybe King without a crown or ParadeRest can weigh in on whether this is true). That wording -- "a man or a boy" -- is pretty disturbing.

This is a daily occurence in the city. Gothamist is also reporting this incident as "fatal train Vs. Pedestrian". Looks like Kingston ave-Eastern parkway station.

Yep, there were a lot of cops and people outside the station, say around 5 pm yesterday.

Update.......Male/White 24, took a leap in front of the oncoming train.

I have no interest in suicide, but if I did, the pills/booze method seems the best in my opinion. subway smash? yuxors.

ja, i gotta go with dorothy parker on this one. ('course, she basically drank herself to death, so let's not extend this metaphor too far.)

Yes, I think there are a lot more suicides than get reported. They can be really, really tough on the drivers. Pills and alcohol is a much kinder way to go in that respect.

So committing suicide is rational?

fascinatingly enough, I was having a conversation w/ some folks the other night about the rationale of suicide. but it was a horrendously academic conversation b/c one of the folks is a ph.d. candidate in psychology.

and I'm no good at judging rational behavior - I do a lot of really irrational shit and feel a-ok about it.
